How are deeper abscesses treated?

Answer 1

Written by a 9 year old-To get rid of an abscess you can go to a dentist and get a prescription for antibiotics , then when the abscess has gone you'll probably get your tooth pulled out. To get rid of the pain of an abscess you need to put heat on it so maybe try a whee tie or a hot water bottle. If you have read other paragraphs saying you have a chance that you can die, don't listen to it, you can only die from an abscess that is covering your nose and mouth which is probably not possible. So don't worry, you will NOT die. If you put cold on an abscess like frozen food or things like that you will go numb then in like 10 minutes the numbness will wear off and you will sting like mad and it will bleed! Don't use cold , use heat. Thank-you for reading and if it helped you with an abscess, just remember you got advice from a nine year old who has had 3 abscesses, thankyou:)
